Notes:

* Users of Firefox that have AdBlock Plus installed as a browser extension can't use the Ctrl + Shift + V shortcut to 'paste stencils in place' because it is used by the extension. To release it, go to about:config and change the _extensions.adblockplus.sidebar_key_ property to an empty string.

** Projects are auto-saved automatically so that, usually you don't need to save them manually.
